Teaching is Dangerous

Jonathan Drori: 

Why we don’t understand as much as we think we do


About this talk

Starting with four basic questions (that you may be surprised to find you can't answer), Jonathan Drori looks at the gaps in our knowledge -- and specifically, what we don't about science that we might think we do.

About Jonathan Drori

Jonathan Drori commissioned the BBC's very first websites, one highlight in a long career devoted to online culture and educational media -- and understanding how we learn. 

My Notes

Children get their ideas not from their teachers but from common sense

Be very very careful what you put into that head, because you will never ever get it out

We look for evidence to reinforce our existing models

Some are able to provide that evidence or to create other barriers to understanding

Children are not empty vessels, they have their own theories that we are trying to shift

Poor teaching does more harm than good
